Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 31:35-40

Glorious things have been spoken in the Jer. 31:1-34 concerning the gospel church, which that epocha of the Jewish church that was to commence at the return from captivity would at length terminate in, and which all those promises were to have their full accomplishment in. But may we depend upon these promises? Yes, we have here a ratification of them, and the utmost assurance imaginable given of the perpetuity of the blessings contained in them. The great thing here secured to us is that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:35

Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day ,.... As he did at first, and still continues it; and which is a wonderful gift of nature he bestows on men, unworthy of such a favour, Matthew 5:45 ; and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night ; which have a settled regular order and course, in which they move; and whereby they impart the light they borrow from the sun, to enlighten the world by night; which is another favour to the inhabitants of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:35

The ordinances of the moon; i.e. the moon in its appointed changes (comp. Jeremiah 33:23 ). Which divideth the sea when, etc.; rather, which stirreth up the sea, so that, etc. This is one of the points of content Jeremiah with the latter part of Isaiah (see Isaiah 51:17 ; and comp.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:35-37

Guarantees of perpetuity. These words are a promise to the Jews, and plainly refer to the national existence of Israel; but the breadth and spirituality of file covenant they confirm warrants us in seeing in them the pledges of God's faithfulness and the Church's stability for all who enjoy the privileges of the covenant. These pledges are to be seen in the symbolism of nature. The God of grace is thee God of nature. Spiritual revelation throws light on the vague religion of nature; but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:35-37

The seed of Israel; signs of its everlasting duration. I. THEY ARE SIGNS WITH MUCH REVELATION OF GOD IN THEM . The sun, the moon, the stars, the heavenly spaces with all their occupants, the terrestrial surface with the fathomless depths beneath it. We shall never know all that is to he known about these existences; but we may soon know enough to know through them something of their Maker. That they are the common work of one hand, the common expression of one wisdom... read more

Jeremiah 31:35-37. Thus saith the Lord, who giveth the sun for a light by day All the acts here mentioned are such as manifest the divine, almighty power of him who is the Lord of all the hosts of the creation. Which divideth, or, who did divide, the sea Namely, as the words are generally interpreted, the Red sea, to give the Israelites passage. The original words, however, רגע הים , which occur Isaiah 51:15, where they are translated as here, are by Bishop Lowth rendered, who stilleth... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:23-40

A new city and a new age (31:23-40)Jeremiah has a vision of Jerusalem as a city of righteousness and Judah as a land of contentment. It is a vision that gives him the satisfaction of a pleasant dream (23-26). God had been responsible for the devastation of their land in the past, but he will also be responsible for its productivity in the future (27-28). The people by then will have learnt the lessons of their captivity. They will no longer blame their forefathers for their misfortunes, but... read more
